Sheltering in Place

[Drunk Monk]

One telemeet down, one to go. Feeling a bit off today so I'm just working and taking it easy. Might do a sauna/salt bath tonight. Maybe some laundry. Maybe finish that movie I said I'd finish last night but didn't.

Sunday was low-key. Brunch with H & friend, then walked from my cave to her nest (40 min stroll) using the Nope-igraphical map (mostly flat, no hills - "we goin' up that hill?" "Nope!").

Today in the shop (even though shop is closed on Mondays) to try to get ahead on repairs.

Because the Olympics are upon us!!!!

Power out. Hills on fire. Temperature is 90°. Sitting in front of my battery powered fan.

[Greg]

Power came back on at 5:30. Power went out at 2am and is still off here at 7:30. No word when it will be back.

Bummer.

It rained here yesterday. That was unexpected. 

I think I nipped a cold in the bud yesterday. My throat was feeling dry and borderline scratchy. I took it easy, had a sauna/salt bath session, and went to bed early. My throat feels better today. I just have a nagging cough that's a tad worse than my usual nagging cough. Still a bit bleary and hoping to take it easy again today. It's a work day, but no telemeets.

[Drunk Monk]

Still coughing a bit. Still a little ragged. But on the mend.

Today is a typical work day but no tele meetings. I'm in that 'get ahead' mode in preparation for my trip. I'm supposed to drop off the tiedye bin at my JM psych supervising partner's tonight. It's been sitting next to my desk bumming me out because I picked it up to take it to SNWMF after another vol thoughtfully washed them.

[Greg]

The hills called. I answered.

[Drunk Monk]

Good for you. The pix look stunning.

Two telemeets today but I’m dragging right now. Post mild cold, post allergy attack and I just need to sleep it off. Gonna grab a nap as soon as I get a break. Several pressing tasks need attention but I can’t focus. Need to heal more.

Iaido tonight. Our dojo made the Good Times this week. I promised to make a relevant flyer today, one of my pressing tasks along with getting WeChat for PRC.

My remote day. I'll hit the library store later and swing by Rasputin's on my way home. And water the front yard plants.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

Sleeping in a bit, then back to the shop for the final day of Pre-Nationals repairs.

[Drunk Monk]

Work day. Stacy should be home in a few hours. Yuki will be overjoyed. 

I'm still a bit ragged from my mild summer cold > allergy attack. It cost me the week, which ended up being just the minimum of work instead of getting ahead like I planned, and Yuki care. Didn't even binge much ultravi, which is my modus operandi when left to myself. Just took care of myself - sauna, salt baths, sleep. 

Right. Gotta get back at it...

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

Repair deluge has passed. Henchman out with The 'Rona, so solo tomorrow (Saturday) on our big "walk-in" day. Fortunately, I can hide behind our appointment system if I get overwhelmed.

As an aside, I have been experiencing heightened anxiety levels since covid, but more in this last year due to political climate. It has exacerbated my chronic depression, but I've pushed back on that recently. How are the rest of you doing?

[Drunk Monk]

The debate was rough. Did not expect that outcome. Such a bummer.

Mostly I'm anxious about going back to Shaolin. That place almost killed me several times. I'm traveling there and back again on my own - both travel times will be more than 24 hours. A lot of Rona in airports, and I'm traveling back to the source. Once I catch up with the group, I should be reasonably secure, but it's going to be one helluva trip. And then I'll have to get home...

[Drunk Monk]

Slept in until 8:30 this morning and it was delicious. Gotta get it together for Kung Fu, then the rest of the day is relatively free. Might do some travel prep.
